I have been using Dr.T's Tiger on an Atari ST for the past several weeks and have encountered a large number of bugs. Has anyone made extensive use of this program, and if so what has the experience been? Some of the symptoms: Computer locks up when program is exited. Clearing all tracks and setting new song length to 8 measure causes two bombs. Can't get meter set to 6/8 time. Always sets it to 3/4. Port assignments contain non-ascii characters instead of A-D. Attempt to Quantize whole track -> 2 bombs. etc.,etc. In general this seems like an interesting program, but it is very frustrating in its present condition. I am using Midisoft Studio as a sequencer and exporting Midi type 1 files to Tiger. There seem to be some slight differences in file formats, but in general must of the information transfers back and forth. -- Robert Feinman rdf@pinet.aip.org American Institute of Physics rdf@aip.bitnet

In reference to Robert Feinman's post on Tiger: I am using Tiger Cub on an amiga and other than the user interface being non intuitive at one particular point, I have not seen any problems yet. I just seem to start it recording at inoportune times due to the use of right mouse button as a start/play button. This is a crime in the amiga. That button should only be used as a menu puller. I have used Tiger about 8 hours now and still hit the right mouse button at the wrong time at least 5 times a session. At least it goes to a new track when I do that so nothing is destroyed, just annoyed!. PS. I initially forgot the name of The dead physist r. feinman was Richard and though Robert was a reincarnation or something. :wq -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan McDonley, Martin Marietta Information and Communication Systems (303) 977-3347 mcdonley@inlatlas.den.mmc.com P.O.Box 1260 ncar!dinl!mcdonley Denver,CO 80201-1260 Opinions are my own, not my employer's. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
